And it's a complete entertainment solution, allowing for simultaneous playback of digital sound from movies and analog sound from a PC with no additional decoder or receiver. The instructions for set up were clear and precise, and I was up and running, with rail gun thundering, in no time.
If you have a Creative Labs' Sound Blaster Live! with the exclusive Digital DIN connection (the nine-pin Digital Cable connection supplied with the digital I/O on these cards), this system is a must. The extra clarity of digital audio that the DIN allows is astounding. With digital audio, my office was transformed into the Staples Arena while playing NBA Live 2000.
The system comes with a variety of desktop floor stands and wall-mounting hardware, along with two 16-foot and four nine-foot speaker cables. (It would be nice to have four stands instead of two, which would allow gamers to put speakers in the four corners of a room.) You can hook the DTT2500 Digital to your DVD player--your VCR, too, as long as it has a Dolby Digital (AC-3) connection--to watch movies and bring that true theater feel to your family room.
If you are a hard-core gamer or a big-time DVD movie fanatic, this system will satisfy your needs 100 percent.
